Wicked Sexy (Wicked Games Series Book 2)

WOW! I read this book after reading a post from author Marie Force on Facebook and I'm glad that I did. Now I'm off to read book 1 in the Wicked Games Series by J. T. Geissinger. I highly recommend this book.

Enjoyed the crazed dynamic of the two leads and the well-researched dynamic of hacking and efforts by authorities to protect systems. The scenes between Tabby and Connor were alternating between hot and humorous, often showing their flaws to one another. Thought it was a very fun read and recommend this and book 1, Wicked Beautiful. Both featured some unexpected twists keeping you engaged.

I love Alpha males. I love strong female heroines. I do not like when the heroine is smarter, and more bossier than the male. That was the case here. Tabby the heroine was vicious, treated the hero poorly. Rude, conceded, cocky...all qualities I normally do not like in a heroine. Strong, yes. Independent, yes. But more dominant than the male? No. Don't like it. Tabby was definitely the dominant one in this relationship. Connor was brawn, but at times a door mat to Tabby. This pairing did not work for me.

So why the four stars? Because this story simply rocked. The suspense, the writing, the plot, the twists, the dialog. I could not put it down. and Tabby was one bad a** super hero! I found her annoying in her scenes with Connor, but totally rockin in all other scenes! I loved how she fought the bad guy and won. Didn't need Connor to save her. She was in control and brilliant. The story was riveting. This author can spin one tale! Would have gotten five stars if the Hero was a bit more dominant. At least equal to his counterpart But he wasn't. She completely outshined him

I just don't have the words to say how awe d one this book is. Don't think about it just get it and read it today. I love Tabby...she is telling Queen s nd Connor....oh Connor....sigh. I really hope the author is working on #3!!!

I've been trying to describe what type of label to put on this book and the series. It is so much more than a romance. All I've been able to come up with is high action romance! There's never a dull moment. This is definitely for mature readers as the sex scenes are graphic. I enjoyed this series very much.

The story was fast paced. The characters were entertaining. The story was over the top but well written.

Wicked Sexy is a fun book to past the time with.

Tabby is a kickass heroine. Her mind is the most wonderful, complex, intriguing thing about her.

Tabby easily won me over. And while listening to the book and getting to know her character (which was expertly built by JT), you just know she has something up her sleeve.

Wicked Sexy is a book filled with intrigue, suspense, romance and sex.

What made the book especially good was the banter between Tabby and Connor.

They have a history and are now trying to work together.

They dont flirt like the typical couple, they already know what there is to know about one another (or so they think) and the banter between them was wicked and entertaining.

This book was a satisfying read on so many points, my book lovers heart broke out in a happy dance. The writing, plotting and dialogue were so well done, I couldn’t put it down. I loved the main characters, Tabby is my new female hero (no little ‘h’ for her), and Conner makes it to the top of my book boyfriends list. They were unique. The story had me reading to find out what would happen next, missing any filler I needed to skim over, something I find myself doing a lot. I am not familiar with the computer hacking world, but found the ‘technical’ aspects believable, hopefully in a sci-fi fiction reality way. The romance was written beautifully, perfectly matching the main characters. There was quite a bit of explicit steam, but I found it written well, not cringy.

I read the first in this series, since I hate starting in the middle of any story world. That one I skimmed a lot, and found slightly ridiculous. But I was glad I got an introduction to Tabby, so sort of worth slogging through. Only problem I had with this second book was the generic title obviously made to sell books. I would have called it Wicked Smart.

Wicked Sexy is the second book in the Wicked Games Series. It can be read as a standalone since it is a different couple but I will say, you should totally read Wicked Beautiful because it rocked just as hard. The first book is Parker and Victoria's story and that is where I met Tabby and Conner and this is their story...

It's been three years since she has seen him. The muscle-bound jarhead that she loathes. And now he is back. For her and Tabby isn't happy about it. The last time she saw Conner she refused to work for his Security company but he must have forgotten that she hates him because he is here and asking for her brilliance and hacking stills in a case. A big one. She doesn't want to work close to him but after hearing who the target is...she can't say no. She is ready for war. Too bad it's not just about finding Søren but a war with herself because she has to fight herself to not want Conner.

Conner might be a bada- but Tabby brings him to his knees. With pleasure. The way she pretends to hate him with her words makes him want to throw her against the wall and take her like nobody ever has. He sees right through her. The game she is playing drives him crazy but he knows she has her walls and he just needs to break them down, brick by brick. He knows she likes being a team of one so for now, he just wants one night. One night to get it out of his system so they can get the relive the tension and find Søren. To bring down the top hacker in the world. But, will one night be enough?

Conner and Tabby have to get on the same page if they want to win this war. Conner knows Tabby is after Søren for a personal reason but he needs the details if this is going to work but Tabby isn't making it easy. She is a fault. To get remotely close to getting the combination, Conner needs her trust. Can he gain the trust he needs before it's too late?

I loved Conner and a Tabby in Wicked Beautiful. I knew it was going to be a crazy fun and sexy ride with these two. They are f amazing! Tabby is a brilliant, strong, sassy and bada- woman and fashionista that loves Hello Kitty. Conner is a sexy, protective bada- with a big heart. Together, they are bada-, hilarious, sexy, and I don't think I could ever get enough of them. Their banter is full of hate and lust. Their chemistry is on fire. And their bada**ery is epic.

Overall...it's one sexy, beautiful, hilarious and twisted book. I laughed. Cried. And got hot and bothered. I also have to tell you that Tabby is one of my favorite characters of all time! I am not sure if this is the end of the series but I hope it's not.

P.S. Like Parker and Victoria, these two have some amazing sidekicks!

Quotes:

“I’m not weird. I’m limited edition.”

“That’s twice now I’ve made you scream, sweet cheeks, without even laying a finger on you.”
His gaze, searing hot, travels down the length of my naked body. His voice grows husky.
“Imagine what I could do with all ten.”

“A real hero would teach the princess how to save herself.”

(PureTextutality.com)J.T. Geissinger. What can I say? She’s just one of the best authors that I read, and I love everything I have read by her, which is everything she has ever published. This is the second book in one of her three series, two of which are still unfinished. I received this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Full disclosure, I am part of her street team.

We first met Tabby in book one of this series, Wicked Beautiful. She is an extraordinary computer hacker, and was the assistant to the main character of that book. Tabby is not your typical romance heroine, in any way, shape, or form. She’s all about Hello Kitty, has a pretty foul mouth, is pierced in interesting places(!), tatted, and is vulnerable to the max, because of a horrible history. Of course, she hides her vulnerability with snark. Conner was the security man for the main male character of Wicked Beautiful. He’s former special ops, with a massive build(at least next to Tabby his is). Conner met Tabby in that book as well. And sparks flew, angry sparks on her part, but lots and lots of chemistry sparks as well, were flying all over the place. And this is why the author’s readers all clamored for this book-including me.

When Conner comes to Tabby with a business proposition dealing with an unscrupulous computer hacker of the extraordinary sort, she wants nothing to do with it. But he persists and since she’s between jobs, she considers it. When she realizes who the computer hacker perpetrator is, just from the description Conner gives her, she’s in. She’s got a dark and very twisted history with this man, and she is anxious to find him and get him put away. Problem? She’s got a hate relationship with Conner, or does she really? During a cross country drive to California, the two get closer, although Tabby is fighting the attraction all the way.

The villain of this book is Soren, a man that attended MIT with Tabby. I am not going to tell anything more about the relationship here, as it would be a major spoiler. Suffice it to say that Tabby is not a fan of Soren’s. What really amazed me about this book, besides the wonderful romance, was how intricate of a story line this was. All the computer programming bits that are included should have confused me, but the author wrote it in such a way as to keep it interesting. And Tabby’s backstory was extremely developed and heartbreaking, as well.

The romance? What can I say? It was chemistry off the charts between Conner and Tabby. He loved her mind, how super intelligent she is, all the while looking and dressing like a wild child. Of course, she’s a beauty that doesn’t really care about that, and he is enchanted from the minute he meets her in the first installment. But first he has to get past all the walls she has put up. Once he does(and it takes longer than you would think), it’s game on between the two. Erotica would easily describe this part of the book. Not a big fan of erotica, but there are certain authors that I will read, and J.T. Geissinger is on that short list.

Bottom line, this is a sexy, thriller type read. It involves two opposite attract, well realized characters, with major chemistry, and a really scary bad guy. There are twists and turns that you won’t see coming, and I enjoyed the whole thing. And to top it off, we are introduced to the hero of the next book in the series, Ryan, a special ops buddy of Conner’s. I can’t wait to read his story as well. I highly recommend this book to adult contemporary romance or romantic suspense readers, that like an erotic edge to their romances.

What a fantastic follow up to Wicked Beautiful, is Wicked Sexy by J.T. Geissinger. It is everything that I was looking for in a follow-up; smart dialogue, funny and snazzy humor, that electric and sexual chemistry, the passion and then what is a book without some pressure/suspense for the MC.

We met Tabby and Connor, the MC, in book 1 where they were background characters and in book 2, this is their love story. The good and the bad laid out on how they fell in love. Connor is an ex-Special Ops agent and CEO of his private security firm while Tabby is a young woman who went to college at a very early age , she is a super smart computer hacker who attended MIT and has a genius level IQ. Her personality is one that is sassy and independent. She is very smart and fearless. She has red hair and definitely a temper that goes with it. When Connor is around her, the sparks fly. Connor is an older man who is definitely all alpha and protector of all that is around, which includes Tabby but she fights him due to things in her past. Connor wants to help her but she tries to refuse that help. Connor wont let her do that and that is where the sparks really fly between them. They met over their friends in book 1 and in book 2 , they go from semi frenemies to lovers and what was great is how I loved was the journey to becoming true lovers and real friends. Tabby and Connor joined up to find a real criminal , a cyber criminal who is a psychopath responsible for many terrorist activities and the thing is , he is a bad person from Tabby’s past. This is where a lot of pressure comes in, a lot of angst and suspense. The flow of the story was great and I Loved how Connor and Tabby kept this story going until the very end. You too will love how the journey for this couple kept you engrossed from beginning to end. I was sad when their love story came to an end. Maybe there will be more books from the supporting cast brought up or maybe more stories will be written, for I loved these type of stories. The heat and passion was great and the character development was good. This is one great summer story to enjoy and read again over and over. I would recommend reading book 1 to fully enjoy this story, although it can be read as a standalone.

My rating: 4.6 stars *****
**I was given an ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review***

I was very fortunate to be able to read Wicked Beautiful and Wicked Sexy back to back.

I do think that both of these books could be stand alone too.

After reading Wicked Beautiful I was really hoping that we'd get a story about Conner and Tabby. I actually felt this book was better than the 1st one, which in my opinion was very hard to top as Wicked Beautiful is a great book!

Conner was in the military and now is a security expert who's business has branched out with extractions. (rescuing people who've been kidnapped, etc). He is one serious piece of man candy.

Tabby is a computer genius. Who is extremely smart. I love her attitude! She doesn't take crap from anyone!

Conner convinces Tabby to help with a job. She takes the job because the person they are attempting to catch is a person from her past.

I love the back and forth between these two. Tabby is trying to keep Conner at arms length because of what she has been through in her past but Conner has a way of getting through all her defenses.

Conner becomes the ultimate Alpha Male trying to protect Tabby. No one can keep Tabby safe when she is taken by the insane man from her past.

Conner doesn't disappoint us. He's going to get his woman back!

This book has the sizzling sex, the intrigue, the suspense, some humor. There were parts in the book that I felt were 'nails digging into armchair' intense!

A seriously great book!

Wicked Sexy by J.T. Geissinger
“Ex-military meets punk goth hacker, 4 stars”

If you’ve read Wicked Beautiful then you’ve met Tabby and Connor. You know that the sexual tension is thick between these two, but the dislike towards one another is more. Now if you haven’t read Wicked Beautiful fear not! Wicked Sexy is a standalone and you don’t need to reas Wicked Beautiful to get the story.
Connor is ex-military turned private security. He works with big name clients and isn’t afraid to get to get his hands dirty. When he met Tabby he wanted to tie her up and spank her, and not in a kinky way. She had hacked his system and knocked his ego down a few pegs. But when a customer needs a computer hacker to help save her business there is only one person he knows who can handle the job, Tabby.
Tabby can’t stand Connor. From his cargo pants to his insufferable personality. When she finds out he needs her help her immediate thought is NO, until she hears the name of the hacker he needs help taking down. The hacker is her worst nightmare and she will do anything to take him down.
One cross-country road trip, a couple rounds of hate s*x, and high tension in the work place...what can go wrong? Can Connor and Tabby set aside their differences and see whats right in front of there faces? Will the structured man fall for the hot mess woman? Will the hello kitty obsessed woman commit to the cargo pants man? Only time and high tension will tell.
I really enjoyed Wicked Sexy. Geissinger definitely nailed it with story. I honestly cannot think of another story similar to this one. She made it easy to laugh when necessary and when to sit on the edge of your seat in suspense. Tabby is a fiesty take no crap kind of woman that knows how to be vunerable, and I loved that. I was seriously girl crushing on her. Then Connor is a total alpha male, which I love. Wicked Sexy is definitely one-click worthy. In the mean time here are a couple of my favorite quotes from the story;
“I love all her contradictions. I love that she wears sexy, revealing outfits, has tattoos and piercings, swears like a sailor and knows Krav Maga, but a single kiss can undo her. I love that she’s brilliant and bold and mercilessly independent, but manages to make me feel like a king when she blushes.”
“Tabby sends me a look that says if I take a step in her direction I’ll get a knife shoved through my thorax.”
“That’s just a side gig. Its primary function will be saving the world.”
Plot- 4/5
Characters-4/5
Heat-4/5
Writing style- 4/5
Overall- 4/5
**I was given an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. SBR**

Wicked Sexy is part romantic suspense and part good, old-fashioned, hardcore erotic smut. And by “part” I mean “all the best parts”. Where romantic suspense doesn’t usually pack enough heat to keep me interested, this story steamed up the screen of my reader. It is explicit, raw, and oh so delectable in the dirty details without coming off as over the top or purple prose-y. And while straight erotica doesn’t usually have enough heart to carry a real romantic connection, Wicked Sexy is so pumped full of feels, I devoured the whole not-insubstantial-length thing in less than a day. It’s edgy and dark and not a story you should pick up if you’re in the mood for fluff. The bad guy is chillingly, hauntingly bad—and when I say “hauntingly”, I mean I thought him for days after finishing the book—and the main characters are supercharged with dangerous mystique and brimming with unspoken emotion. The entire story harbors a hard, almost sinister edge, a razor sharp blade lurking in a glossy piece of candy. It’s just on the right side of too angsty, saved by the clever way the characters call each other out on the little tension-building techniques I found myself occasionally frustrated with.

Connor Hughes does intense on a whole other level than we saw from Parker in Wicked Beautiful. This man is a tantalizing study in contradictions: large and muscled yet clever, moves with quiet grace; a primal protector with an acerbic wit and big soft heart; a self-made successful G.I. Joe who turns ladies heads as easily as he runs mental circles around intellectuals and strategists. His dialogue swings between a friendly and thoughtful sort of forward-thinking, and reasonably blunt. Connor doesn’t play games and always says exactly what he means, whether it’s filthy foreplay or unpleasant truth. It’s easy to see why Parker trusts him, why his men so loyally follow him. This guy is smart. And real. And so very irresistibly sexy.

Connor’s relationship chemistry with Tabitha is scalding hot, true to the glimpse readers got in Wicked Beautiful. But it’s also soul-deep and vulnerable on a level that frightens them both. This story is darker than the first in the series, but still peppered with J.T. Geissinger’s signature spunk, wit, and charm. We met Tabby in the first book, where she was the personal assistant and pet hacker of Victoria Price, and she is solidly true to form in Wicked Sexy. Her fashion style is eye-popping and unique, and I can’t decide whether I crushed on her so hard because of her take-charge attitude, her brilliant mind, or her wicked self defense skills (which she uses to devastating effectiveness).

Ms. Geissinger’s muse (for this series, anyway) must be a real scorched-earth type, because she likes to build everything up with class and wealth and comfort, then burn it all to the ground and make the characters start over from scratch. I find this both invigorating and annoying, and I know now that I should only open one of these stories if I’m ready to step through the uncomfortable-yet-tantalizing dark tunnel that follows all the lovely, light-hearted fun. If you’re a fan of red hot romantic suspense, you won’t want to miss J.T. Geissinger’s Wicked Sexy!

received in exchange for a honest review.

Tabitha and Connor are first seen in Wicked beautiful but it isn’t needed to help understand this one. Tabitha is feisty, spunky and full of pluck. She’s smart and says her mind. She also mad a mistake at MIT that she pays a price for in many ways. One of those ways is being very distrusting. Her hello kitty fetish is hysterical.

Connor is sexy, smart but hides it, fun and takes what Tabitha hands out and gives it back. He goes to Tabitha when he needs help with a security issue and she turns him down flat. Doesn’t give up though. He entices her with two names. Names that draw her in and bring her to head out west with him. Since planes aren’t her thing we are privileged to a fun snark filled banter ride to California. A ride that has these two act on their attraction that is an elephant in the room for them. Tabitha though doesn’t trust well and she keeps pushing Connor away. Even when he changes the stakes and wants a chance she pushes.

When they get to California after some sexaluscious nights, Connor proves to be on Tabitha’s side no matter what. When she is put in question by the FBI he is there. Risks alot to stand by her. This still doesn’t deter her and keep her from continually trying to push him away. Connor still is there for her. In the end we get a HEA but it is one fun snark filled and at times dangerous adventure to that HEA.

The story is fast paced and the plot is character driven. The characters of Tabitha and Connor are fun, sassy and sexy. Each with their own quirks and fears but they do have you fall in love with them and their getting to know you and fall in love with you moments. There are some shocking moments and reveals that have you go wow. I was glad when Tabitha was put to the test she stood by good and didn’t want to become like Pinky in Pinky and the Brain where they try to take over the world. I loved these two and all they went through to be together. They went through quite a journey in which Tabitha learns to trust and open up and Connor figures out what he wants and goes for it. He shows her patience, love, honesty and loyalty something she needed so that Tabitha can come to him openly and not out of some misguided reasons. A wonderfully sexy book filled with fun, snark and a mystery of who the hacker is.

All I can say is WOW – I keep falling deeper and deeper in love with J.T. Geissinger’s Wicked Games Series! ‘Wicked Sexy’ is the second book of the series, and it is action packed – full of super sexy romance, witty dialogue, intrigue, and suspense at its best!

Super genius and notorious hacker, Tabitha West, is recruited by Connor Hughes, ex Special Op and CEO of Matrix Security, to team up on a joint voyage to California to save Miranda Lawson and her movie studio empire. If you have read ‘Wicked Beautiful’ (which I highly recommend), you have already been introduced to Tabby and Connor and let’s just say their ‘love/hate’ relationship.

Although, they both have amazing skills in what they do, their MOO both professionally and personally are completely different. Tabby is a team of one. Connor, being ex-military, is used to working with a team and putting trust in others. He is built to perfection, stunningly handsome, strong, and she is beautiful, tattooed, talented, and independent. She is also frustratingly feisty, closed off, and hot tempered. She dresses how she wants, does what she wants, and doesn’t trust and will never let anyone close to her again.

Connor is inexplicably drawn to Tabby from the beginning – it is hard to tell whether it is intrigue or infatuation, but he is determined to be patient and protect her and get her to open up and trust him. As Tabby continues to try and resist Connor’s advances, she also sees a different side to him and begins to let her walls down. Behind both of their tough facades they both admire each others special talents greatly and are completely attracted to each other, but can the ‘Jarhead’ and the ‘Princess’ possibly be a team of two?

Together, these two are totally hot and their passion was sizzling and off the charts! I loved how there was so much more to Connor and that behind his tough guy demeanor was such a patient (INCREDIBLY patient I must say), sweet, and compassionate man. Their banter so fun to follow as they volleyed back and forth with such quick wit and sass. Behind all of their toughness, they totally got each other and respected what made each other tick. I found myself being so hopeful that they could work out together!

There are two things (probably more) that I love about Geissinger and her writing style. The first is her character depth and multiple layers in which she gives her characters where she really makes you feel compassion for them and allows you to know and understand them. The second is her ability to create and write totally unique storylines with very intriguing and complex plots that keep you engrossed in the story from beginning to end.

One more note about ‘Wicked Sexy’ that I would like to mention… Much of this story had a lot of in-depth information on computers, hacking, national defense agencies, etc.… You could really tell that Geissinger did her homework and research in these areas. I am somewhat of an ‘over thinker’, and there were absolutely no gaps left uncovered in my mind to make this story complete in every way!

‘Wicked Sexy’ hit every nail on the head for me with action, suspense, intrigue, and romance to boot. Let me tell you, this was an incredible story, and I simply could not put the book down!

I highly recommend and love this series, and I can’t wait to meet Ryan (Connor’s co-worker) in the next book of the Wicked Games Series!

Great story! In fact, I like Wicked Sexy better than the first book in the Wicked Games series, Wicked Beautiful. I am crazy in love with the characters in this story. The characters piqued my interest in the first book to the point that I hoped we would learn more about them. The first paragraph in Wicked Sexy sucked me into the book and held my attention to the end. I love the writing and the dialog between the two main characters is funny at times, hostile at times, and sexy often.

Wicked Sexy is the story of Tabitha (Tabby) West, a genius and master hacker and Connor Hughes, a former Special Ops Marine and technology security expert. You can tell right off the bat in Wicked Beautiful that they are going to bump heads and they do. You can also feel the burn bubbling to erupt and it does in Wicked Sexy.

In Wicked Sexy, Connor needs help tracking down a hacker who infiltrates a movie studio’s technology and threatens to cause her trouble. He turns to Tabby for help because of the potential of more damage to this studio and the email incident at Sony a few years earlier. Tabby isn’t interested in the beginning because she doesn’t trust Connor. Besides he rubs her the wrong way until she finds out who the hacker is—Maelstr0m. The hackers have a history and Tabby wants revenge.

Tabby and Connor have great chemistry even when they verbally spar with each other. They are attracted but fight it. In the beginning, Connor wants a roll-in-the-hay while sensing that there is more to this woman than meets the eye. He feels the possibility of a relationship and that confuses him. Connor isn’t a relationship kind of guy and women don’t monopolize his time or thoughts—until Tabby.

Tabby is a loner. Her only long-term friend if Victoria, her employer, in Wicked Beautiful. After Victoria, Tabby is working as a consultant. She doesn’t need the money, she needs the challenge. Tabby doesn’t have relationships with men. She is used to being alone and doesn’t let anyone break down the walls she has built around her heart. Connor makes her think there is a possibility for more.

The story is perfect. The plots and characters are creatively constructed. The way the push-pull relationship develops between Tabby and Connor is perfectly paced. For me, many times authors make the push-pull last too long or the reasons for the push isn’t clear; that isn’t the case in this book. It feels right. I never felt frustrated with this couple. Add to that the nail-biting, edge of the seat plot that unfolds building the tension so you have to keep turning the page.

Overall, Wicked Sexy has everything I like in a book. J>T> Geissinger's writing is excellent, the hero is to die for, the heroine is determined, damaged, strong, and highly intelligent. The sex scenes are hot and required a fan at times. The story has a good solid romance base with the added suspense of solving a cyber crime. In other words, it isn’t the typical cookie cutter romance. The author delivers a story full of suspense, action, an unexpected twist, secrets and some steamy and romantic scenes. I recommend it highly and hope there will be more books in this series.

*Disclosure: I received an ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review*

Wow, my mind is completely blown! What a wild ride, what a fantastic adventure, what an awesome story, what intensity of feeling, what darkness of the mind, what virtuosity of language! J. T. Geissinger has a distinctive narrative voice with a rare poetical quality; if you read just one page of hers you would recognize that voice right away!

One of the best books that I have read this year and one of the best Romantic Suspense novels I have ever read.

Synopsis: This book is the second installment in the Wicked Games series. The two main protagonists, Connor Hughes and Tabitha West appeared as supporting characters in Wicked Beautiful, but despite this Wicked Sexy works well as a standalone.
Connor Hughes is an ex-soldier (Marines) who has his own high end security firm, providing all kinds of services for rich and politically important clients. But for his newest gig he needs some outside help, so he comes to Tabitha West, former hacker prodigy turned legitimate computer specialist. But Connor, with his cocky attitude just rubs her the wrong way, so she tells him where he can stuff his offer. But Connor is persistent, and when he lets slip the codename of the cyber criminal who is trying to blackmail his client, Tabby changes her mind. She is intimately familiar with the name, but she has worked hard to put it and the person who stands behind it in the past. As Connor and Tabby work together to draw the blackmailer out, passions surge and the past rears ist ugly head…

Actually on a first inspection this book pushes a lot of my wrong buttons: ex-military turned private security consultant, come on, that’s like the worst Romantic Suspense cliché out there. But though Connor is one tough [insert male offspring of a female of a domesticated canid], with a gorgeous body to boot, he is also kind, intelligent and even sweet, if he wasn’t so hung up on Tabby, I would propose to him myself. Tabby, for her part, is not the usual heroine paired with a strong alpha-type military guy, but she is intelligent as well as self-sufficient. She is also no shrinking violet and no damsel in distress in need of rescue, but a real [insert other term for donkey]-kicking heroine, complete with tattoos, piercings and more than passing knowledge of Krav Maga. So if anybody is the bad[insert informal North American English term for buttocks] in this relationship, then it’s definitvely her.
The second thing that usually gets my back up fast is the mention of how intelligent the heroine is (including trotting out her IQ points) and then you have to listen to a lot of inane babble that passes as inner monologue about shoes, clothes or the best way to get laid. But J. T. Geissinger actually has Tabby act and think in a way that she comes across as extremely intelligent. I think in large part this is due to the excellent research she put into computer technology; I am not a computer nerd (so I might be mistaken), but neither am I computer illiterate, but Tabby’s hacker and IT skills come across as very credible, without too much technical mumbo-jumbo to bog the story down.
The third thing I usually don’t like is actually several things that can be subsumed under "narrative mode". This includes narrative point of view; the story is told in first person narrative, alternating between the point of view of Tabby and Connor, both of them getting about the same amount of page time. Before I started reading UF I did really not like first person narrative and even less if it was told from the point of view of alternating characters. On top of that the story is told in present tense, another thing I generally can't abide.

So, if I usually hate all the things I just mentioned, why then did I love this story so much? I think it comes down to two things: narrative voice and craftmanship. Narrative voice is quite a difficult concept to define: for me it is a combination of an author's individual, distinct, idiomatic voice (writer's voice) and the way they use tone, mood and style to flesh out the characters and to tell the story. I could identify both with Tabby's and Connor's point of view, they were both very different and distinct. Despite that, the change between the two POVs never felt jarring, quite the opposite, the plot was seamlessy moved forward through the changes. What makes J. T. Geissinger's voice stand out is her poetical style, her imagery and the way she employs metaphor; it's always just right with enough humor infused not to make it appear too brainy. I think it is due to her "writer's voice" that I love all her books, regardless of what genre she is writing in.
As to craftmanship: she has mastered the perfect balance between description, action, dialogue, and internal thoughts. Her descriptions are sparse and spot on: she can paint vivid scenes with just a few words. The action is exciting and fast-moving and makes you grip the edge of your chair. Her dialogues are very strong, authentic, sometimes biting, sometimes ironic or humorous. The (sexual) banter between the two main protagonists really sets fire to the pages and her inner monologues (character self-talk) are almost stream-of-consciousness.
The secondary characters are also very complex and interesting: though some were only introduced with a few words they made such a lasting impression that I want to delve deeper into them and want their stories, too.

Conclusion: I absolutely loved everything about this book, if I could I would give it 5+ stars. The story and its characters will reveberate for a long time in my mind.

If you asked me to sum up Wicked Sexy in just two words, I just got to say, “Wicked amazing” immediately comes to mind. Honestly, book 1, Wicked Beautiful, is a freaking fantastic read. Well, my fellow romance book-loving friends, it is with great pleasure I now introduce you to “ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!”

As usual, this author’s writing style is engaging, make that gripping and doesn’t let you go, while flowing seamlessly across the pages. There are no weak spots/dead zones here, folks. You won’t be shaking your head in frustration or whipping out your Kindle fast-forwarding forefinger trying to get to the end. Simply put, this book doesn’t lose its mojo. From start to finish, you’ll find yourself swept up into the sweet, off the charts sexy romance between Connor Hughes, our for hire handsome ex-military security firm expert, and Tabitha West, the gorgeous, in a class all by herself, computer hacker genius who has no equal. Well, except for the evil, murdering anarchist cyber terrorist she’s been asked to help take down. Not to worry though. The heart pounding suspenseful scenes do not steal the show from the steamy, heart melting romance between these two “I think I’m madly in love with you, but you drive me completely crazy” antagonistic lovebirds.

Thank you, Ms. Geissinger, for giving us such a strong, sassy, feisty heroine who doesn’t sit on the sidelines wringing her hands. No, Tabby is smart enough to know exactly what needs to be done and doesn’t blink an eye in getting right to it. Thankfully, she does have an alpha protective knight in shirtless armor, at least according to the book cover, who has her back as well as her heart.

With several twists and turns, even more witty, back and forth movie screen worthy banter, followed up with steamy scenes with so much lusty language you’ll likely drop your e-book a time or twenty, this is hands down one of my best romantic reads of the year. My only regret is knowing I have to wait for the next book to be released. Here’s to hoping it will be Ryan’s story, and Ms. Geissinger is already working on it. Why? Well, I have no words to describe that handsome hunk of smart mouthed sexiness. In fact, I may need to learn another language or two before writing a review to describe him. Something tells me the English language just won’t have enough words to get the job done.

So, what are you waiting for? Read this series and while you’re at it, you might want to consider checking out her other ones, as well. She’s one of this very selective, avid romance enthusiast’s favorite authors.

(This review is based on ARC generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion. No compensation was paid to the reviewer nor is there any affiliation between the reviewer and author/publisher.)

I couldn’t put this book down. I tried (but only because I was doing that work thing...ssshhhh) but failed miserably. I had to know what was going to happen next with Tabby and Connor and what the ever loving hell was going on with the whole cyber criminal thing and was not disappointed in anyway. Wicked Sexy was a hot, fun ride filled with intrigue and such a great cast of characters that kept me turning the pages.

I absolutely adored Tabby and Connor, even when I wanted to shake some sense into them I adored them. I loved Tabby’s confidence in her abilities and how quick her mind processed everything around her. She knew she was at the top of her game and only let the arrogance out when it was questioned in such a way that it was demeaning to her as a woman. Her quick wit had me laughing and though she tried her hardest to be a team of one, her heart didn’t always let her. Connor just did it for me. Dominant, protective, sexy as sin, intelligent and a sneaky sort of charm that had me grinning the entire time. He’s quite observant and though he could be a jackass at times he was also sweet and caring with those who mattered.

I really enjoyed watching as they went from enemies to lovers. The road was a long and bumpy one, considering what Tabby had been through, but it was well worth it. In a lot of ways they were llike elementary school kids who like each other but don’t want to admit it so they constantly bait one another. The funny thing is that while they are trying to get under each other’s skins, they are also getting to know each other on a whole different level and finding that not only are they physically attracted to each other, but that there is a lot more going on under each of their protective walls and that they may just like what they find. Their sexual chemistry was smoking hot, and I will never think of counting to ten in the same way again. But what I ended up really liking is that while their opinions of each other shift and they end up falling for each other they never change who they are at their core. They are who they are and the only thing that does change is the depth of their feelings for each other.

The writing, as always, was engaging and dual 1st person POV was done very well. The whole catching the cyber criminal storyline was well thought out, the various plot twists were well executed and quite a few surprised me when they were revealed. I didn’t read Wicked Beautiful, I know bad fangirl but it happens sometimes, and can say that Wicked Sexy can be read as a standalone without one feeling as if they were missing out on anything, but I’ll be working on getting it read sooner rather than later because there were a few situations brought up that I’m really interested in reading. And as always, I’m a sucker for well written secondary characters and I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed the next book will be about Ryan because I loved him and want more!

In Wicked Sexy, we have the return of Tabitha and Connor who we met in Wicked Beautiful. After reading WB, WS became one of my most anticipated reads this summer and the story met all my expectations and then some. Again, I have many one-liners and "fun" passages highlighted. In book one, Tabby was probably my favorite character (outside of the main stars Victoria and Parker). Her unrelenting sarcasm and brutal honesty, plus her stunning fashion sense endeared her to me. Connor is still as loyal as they come, his place in Parkers' life served much as Tabby's did in Victorias', but now we get to see a few sides of his personality. A match for Tabby he is...except that neither can see that in their lust induced fog. One night together will do it, right? quell the hunger...

Wicked Sexy picks up three years after Wicked Beautiful and drops us straight into the action and adventure. What brings them together is a security type of job that Connor has been hired to work. He needs Tabby's skill set to pull it off and after a little convincing, Tabby agrees to join the team. From here on out it's nothing but action. They are equals in all things related to cyber sleuth abilities but a personal connections to Tabby's past drives a great mystery and creates a suspenseful story line. The lingo is normal enough so that it doesn't completely go over our heads, but it's also complex enough to make it feel well researched. I found it fascinating and at times a bit frightening.

The extensive time that Connor and Tabby spend together creates a unique partnership. There is something about Connor that brings out her fierce and snarky nature, and there is something about Tabby that brings out the possessive alpha nature lurking under Connors shield. She also turns him to mush which ups the stakes - Tabby make him loose control and his normal stoic level headed nature is gone (poof), just gone. I have to say Geissinger delivers one of the sexiest scenes I've read. It's a slow burn building on what seems to be a pheromone only based attraction. But the taunting and teasing is much more than that *shivers*.

Once again, Geisinger's excellent dialogue writing and humor had me giggling. Some of the things, the crazy comebacks that comes out of Tabby's mouth are almost too good. Whee confronted with an authority of questionable influence, Tabby response is to basically say that being a afraid of consequences is "really kinda not her thing". She takes considerable risk that only serve to infuriate and entice him. Everything between them intensifies as they deal with the FBI, the NSA and a crazy "mo-fo" villain ( he's just kinda ick)!! Another 5 Star read and fabulous conclusion to the Wicked Games duet!

WICKED SEXY is the second installment in J.T. Geissinger’s fantastic contemporary, adult WICKED GAMES erotic, romantic suspense series. This is security specialist Connor Hughes, and IT whiz Tabitha West’s story line. WICKED SEXY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Tabby and Connor were first introduced to the reader in book one Wicked Beautiful.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Connor and Tabby) WICKED SEXY focuses on the hunt for a cyber criminal intent on destroying business woman and movie mogul Miranda Lawson. When Miranda hires security specialist and former special ops agent Connor Hughes, she demands that he bring in smart mouthed, IT genius Tabitha West to aid in the investigation and take down of the internet hacker known only as Maelstrom. What ensues is a set up involving many branches of the US government, and the building relationship between Connor and Tabitha- a relationship fraught with heated tension, secrets and a palpable sexual energy.

The relationship between Connor and Tabby begins acrimoniously. Tabby wants nothing to do with the strong, alpha, and smart security specialist, mercenary and former Marine but her attraction to Connor is off the charts. Their back and forth, yin and yang bickering and innuendo is fast paced and filled with verbal sexual foreplay, tension and banter. Connor has wanted Tabby since the first time they met; Tabby does her best to push Connor out of her life and in doing so becomes the bait to pull in the cyber attacker. The $ex scenes are erotic, intimate and intense.

We are introduced to a number of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the NSA and FBI. Connor’s best friend Ryan T. McLean is a man determined to protect Connor’s back and his heart. I am hoping JT writes a story for Ryan McLean.

WICKED SEXY is an amazing and fascinating story with many twist and turns; an intriguing, well developed and researched tale of cyber crime and internet technology in the hands of a psychotic genius. Tabitha’s past is heartbreaking-so many losses but it is the true nature and extent of the losses that add another layer onto the ever mounting hoard of secrets from the past. The premise is incredible and moving; the characters are passionate, dynamic and intense; the romance is provocative and explosive. J. T. Geissinger is a phenomenal author whose writing with captive your imagination, leaving your breathless and wanting more.

I don't even know where to start with this book.

I'm in awe that this is my first JT Geissinger book and now want to read everything she's written. These characters, the plot, the heat! Ack, everything is just epic proportions! I kind of imagine Tabby like Abby from NCIS except even cooler and more hacker and Connor as uber Gibbs. Seriously, I could not get enough of these characters. And if Ryan, Connor's sexy and overprotective best friend does not get his own book, I may throw a temper tantrum.

"I'm shaken with a sudden certainty that there isn't anything this woman could ask me, sexual or otherwise, that I could or would refuse. It surprises me and scares me in equal measure, because it's new. And extremely dangerous."

I can honestly say, I do not remember the last time I loved a female protagonist so much. I have a ridiculous amount of highlights in this book, just so that I can go back to my favorite parts but there's so many, it would be easier just to reread the book and I gladly would. Tabby is sassy and growly and wickedly funny but also vulnerable and sweet and a little weird. I have a girl crush. I can totally admit it.

"I love all her contradictions. I love that she wears sexy , revealing outfits, has tattoos and piercings, swears like a sailor and knows Krav Maga, but a single kiss can undo her. I love that she's brilliant and bold, mercilessly independent, but manages to make me feel like a king when she blushes. I love all her sharp edges and all her soft, hidden spots."

Connor is heat, and over protectiveness. Ugh! I crushed hard on Connor because no matter how much Tabby tried to push him away, he pushed back because he was not backing down. These two butt heads in the beginning, to the point that I was giggling over the epic insults they threw at each other. Connor quickly learns that Tabby has layers upon layers, secrets dark and hiding more than her own tattoos cover. When he finally gets under her skin, he's not stopping until he gets to the bottom of her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book so much, I'm on reread number three. I want to be Tabby when I grow up. This is officially one of my favorite reads of 2016. I'm off to grab more J.T. Geissinger books.

J. T. Geissinger has produced a Bang-You-Brainless, Wickedly Witty, with Brilliant Banter, and Liltingly Lovely Language Romance. I kid you not, the Language in "Wicked Sexy" - it's languid, you get lost in it, it is so different than J. T. Geissinger's other series, it's pure seduction. It helps that the ex-Marine Hero is a hopeless romantic when it comes to the Heroine, who is incredibly lonely and is the definition of the word "Longing". The Hero, Conner Hughes, has a security company whose job it is to protect his clients be it extracting loved ones from kidnappings, disaster zones, or war zones to cyber security. Tabitha West is a computer prodigy entering MIT at the age of 15 on a full ride but dropping out after a controversial incident. She's a reformed hacker who now works for good guys. Conner likes solving puzzles and Tabby does too but she is more of an enigma than Conner realizes. Tabby's a foul mouthed bad-ass, with a penchant for Hello Kitty, an outrageous wardrobe, with piercings in "intimate" places. Conner is a foul mouthed ex-Special Ops Marine who has been awarded almost every medal a soldier can get - he has more hardware than Home Depot. - his wardrobe consists of black tees, black camo, cargo pants, and combat boots. It's going to take moving Heaven and Earth to get Tabby to fall for him but Conner will do anything for Tabby. These characters are captivating in their own ways. Conner is a total Alpha Hero possessive, demanding, and sexually greedy yet he is a full-blown Romantic - a little bumbling at wooing - but his heart is absolutely on his sleeve. Tabby will not let herself fall for anyone because she feels unworthy, damaged, and she knows that anyone who loves her will go away.
The thing about "Wicked Sexy" is how romantically the words flowed - especially from the ex-Special Ops big beast Hero. The vulnerable yearning for love that the lonely Heroine was feeling was also battling against her feelings of unworthiness and distrust of everyone was palpable. J. T. Geissinger has written a Sex-You-Stupid, Romantic Thriller that you damn well better read!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

Before I start with my review, I have to thank Caroline Laird with Sullivan and Partners, LLC for introducing me to J.T. Geissinger and the Wicked Games Series. I another author to add to my "Whore-der" List.

Now for my review...
Connor and Tabby intrigued me in Wicked Beautiful and I couldn't wait to read their story. And what a story it was. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. It was hard to put my kindle down when real life came calling. It was interesting, hilarious, suspenseful, and oh so HOT!
Being a bit of a computer geek myself, it was even more interesting with computer hacking and such. I especially loved how Tabby always seems to put those macho male chauvinists to shame when they find out she's a hacker.
I absolutely loved the banter between Tabby and Connor. It was so funny. I want Tabby as my best friend. She is just the kind of girl who makes it on to my Girl Crush List with her quick wit, sassy, feisty, and stubborn, but she's also has that vulnerability that makes her a more believable character and easily relatable.
Connor was put on my BBF List in WB because I found him so damn funny even with his badass persona. I wanted to know more about him just from the bits and pieces I saw of him. In Wicked Sexy, he solidified his spot. He kept up with the badass and the funny but he was just as stubborn as Tabby and the sweet side to him just made my insides melt.
I loved the freshness of the plot and all the twists and turns of the suspense. Just when I thought things would go a certain way, it went a total different direction I didn't expect. I didn't expect it all. I was floored just like Connor. (This is so hard to explain without giving a bit of a spoiler away. So I'm not go any further than this in explaining.)
Tabby and Connor had this chemistry that was palpable even in WB. I knew they would be explosive then and what an explosion it was. Hot, Sexy, Steamy, Panty-melting...just a few words to describe when they got together.
I really enjoyed this one as evidence of the above review. I usually don't give such a detailed review but this book elicited it. Being a "book whore", I love new-to-me authors to add to my collection and J.T. has been added. I can't wait to read more from her.

Wow, another book by J.T. Geissinger that I couldn’t put down! She definitely knows how to hook me and have me on the edge of my seat for most of her books! I absolutely loved Connor and Tabby! They are so fun and their banter! Oh, I love their banter. This author knows what she’s doing. Not only is there great banter between the main characters but the other characters as well. Then add incredibly steamy scenes with a hot guy who isn’t afraid of his feelings, I was in love! The suspense between Tabby and Connor’s relationship along with the whole hacker thing kept my fingers eager to swipe to the next page. Wicked Sexy is a fun, suspenseful book full of great characters and intrigue.

Even with the few times that I wanted to shake some sense into Tabby about giving Connor a chance I still loved them. They were so fun together! Tabby is awesome and a total badass! I’d love to be her or have her as a friend. She’s incredibly smart like maybe one of the smartest people there is, and it’s amazing the things she can do with her mind. Her quick wit had me laughing more times than I can count.

Connor was perfect for me. Smart, sexy, protective, sweet, and dominate. The perfect alpha male. I loved how quickly he fell for Tabby and only held back so that he didn’t scare her away.

This enemy-to-lovers romance is fun! While trying to bait one another, they are equally falling for the other. The chemistry is undeniable and makes for some scorching scenes. One of the things I liked best is that they never hid who they were and despite the other’s faults fell for them without wanting them to change.

You get to know both characters with dual first person points of views. I have to say there is just something about books about hackers that I just LOVE and the author did a great job with the story line and making everything work perfectly. I love that there were twists that I never thought of and made the story that much more exciting. Although this book is the second in the Wicked Games series, it can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend it because it’s another fantastic enemy-to-lover romance but also a second chance love story. I will definitely be reading more from this author!

I have met Tabby and Conner in Wicked Beautiful and LOVED them. Wicked Beautiful was my first book by J.T. Geissinger and it certainly was not the last. In Wicked Sexy...there is just something about the clashing of Tabby and Cooner's personalities, which created such a strong and amazing tension between them right from the start. I was craving for more! I seriously cannot freaking wait for the next book in the series. I love the way J.T. incorporates new characters and introduces new plot lines that might take place in future books. There is one certain character in this book that I would love to hear more about...especially his THOR-like tendencies ;)

PLOT LINE - When someone gets hacked...gaining another hacker on board is the only solution. Mostly all hackers think a like, right? As a threat is issued against one of the most known people in the entertainment industry, Miranda will hire anyone who can fix her problem...even when if it'll cost her a million dollars. Connor Hughes is one of the best of the best...which of course is the best in what he does. When he was hired to secure a threat...he knew who to go after. Three years ago, Connor and Tabby crossed paths when unfortuanate circumstances brought them together. Now...Tabitha West was his first choice, no questions asked because she is one of the best hackers in the world. Nothing can get past this bad ass chick. While there was simmering tension in the past...there is most definitely tension right now. This tension really does drive the plot line...as more issues begin to pop up...can they set it aside to solve the case. This story can really be turned into a movie. I can see it playing in my head as I read it.

CHEMISTRY - HOT HOT HOT....everything about Connor is so *sigh* sexy. All the little teasing efforts to try to make Tabby tick are hilarious. Can Connor be everywhere I go so I can have a body guard and someone to laugh with. There are so many cute and sexy moments that unravel between Tabby and Connor. You'll want more of them after the ending. Please let them have more cameos in future books! That would be amazing. And oh boy...when Ryan is introduced into the scenes...he makes everything 100X more hilarious. I cannot wait for his story!!! ;)

Wicked Sexy is one of those stories that you highly anticipate and when you finally read it, you are blown away more than you ever thought possible. J.T. Geissinger is easily one of my favorite authors and she continues to prove why with each book she writes---the details in each story are always well researched and impeccable, her characters are sexy, witty and flawed all while being completely relatable and her stories heartfelt and deeply engaging. Wicked Sexy is nothing short of amazing. We first met Tabby and Connor in Wicked Beautiful. While Wicked Sexy can be read as a standalone, reading Wicked Beautiful first is definitely advised to get the full backstory on the two characters. Their chemistry and witty banter hooked me immediately in Wicked Beautiful so getting a full book about them with Wicked Sexy is the biggest treat of all. There are fireworks of all kinds with these two! Their story is melt-your-Kindle sexy, rip-roaring hilarious (the one-liners, banter and zingers are brilliant!), suspenseful and intriguing all while the reader navigates the emotional landmines dropped throughout. There is so much greatness to this story that words fail to do it justice. At the heart of the book is a game of cat and mouse as the reader uncovers the secrets and lies that plague Tabby’s past. Geissinger knows how to hook the reader from the start and drop curve ball after curve ball as the story unfolds. The reader will be left with a deeply satisfying ending and a brand new book boyfriend to swoon over! The book hangover that accompanies turning the last page will be no surprise to fans of Geissinger’s fabulous stories. This is one story you will NOT want to miss!

Book…..….of……...the……...Year.

Yep….I said it, people.

”A real hero would teach the princess how to save herself.”

I DEVOURED this book, licking my fingers at the very end, it was so delicious. I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t want it to end. I just wanted to sink into this book and never come out. I’ve never read a story like this. And isn’t that what every reader wants? This book has everything you could ever ask for. I wish I had ALL THE WORDS to describe this book. It’s just EVERYTHING!

And it’s smart! Everyone in this book is a genius, literally. The dialogue was so much fun and witty. We’ve got crazy geniuses, and funny geniuses, and scary geniuses, and s*xy-hot geniuses!

Connor and Tabby do not like each other. They have a bit of a history. Connor loves to bait Tabitha, but Tabitha is always on top of her game and gives Connor her spit-fire tongue-lashing at every turn. I loved every single word between these two. Their relationship drips with sarcasm and perfection.

“God, why do you hate me? Seriously, what have I done to offend you so deeply that you’d burden me with this ridiculous—“
“Ahem. Heroic,” Connor interrupts.
“—egomaniacal—“
“Brilliant.”
“—delusional—“
“And yet somehow always right.”
“—insufferable, asinine, jockstrap of a man?”

Connor requests Tabby’s hacker services to assist with one of his clients. After some convincing (super-hot-convincing times), Tabby agrees, but the story takes an unexpected turn that I did not see coming at all. Tabby has a past that is dark and scary, and Connor is the type of hero who will murder for her.

"“Love your tears, princess, ‘cause I know you’d never give them to anyone but me,” he murmurs into my ear."

J.T. writes some bad*ss motherf*ckers, and I’m not talking about the guys (although they are pretty bad*ss too). The HEROINE in this book!!!! TABBY! Total girl-crush going on over here. I want to BE her, from her hello kitty watch to her bad*ss mouth….everything. She has had a sh*t-load of life handed to her, but she is strong as steel. She has learned to hack her way into protecting herself and her heart. Tabitha is a genius hacker. She is just so….cool! I want to be Tabby when I grow up.

Connor. Aka Jarhead. I need him. I need his words. I need his body. I need his devotion. I need his mouth the most.

Let me talk about ALL THE FEELS in this book. I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I felt. Even with all the humor and sarcasm, this story pulled at my heart strings. I cannot say much about this part of the book without spoilers, but I will say that it was raw and gritty and beautiful. Only to turn around and swoon me to death in the end.

The beauty of J.T.’s books is the strong women, followed by a strong man, who sees the vulnerable parts of her and refuses to back down from the walls that she has built. Connor is the ying to Tabby’s yang. They push each other and pull each other and I was caught up in them for the whole ride.

"My sweet, vicious, passionate, distant, marvelous, maddening riddle. If she’d let me, I’d spend a lifetime trying to figure her out."

I CANNOT WAIT to see what J.T. writes next. I am anxiously waiting for her next book!

4.5 out of 5 stars

Are you looking for a an action packed stand alone that will have you on the edge of your seat? Looking for leads that have sizzle in and out of the sheets? Look no farther than Wicked Sexy by J.T. Geissinger.

What I Loved: Wicked Sexy kicks into high gear in its first chapter and refuses to stop. I could not put this story down, it just demanded to be read in one sitting. A strong part of my love for this story has to do with leads Tabby and Conner. Each peaked my interest in Wicked Beautiful (Wicked Games #1) but in lead roles Tabby and Conner were just phenomenal. Snarky banter mixed with the damage of old demons, the two initially came off as opposite as oil and water only to prove to be the perfect ying and yang. Love, love, love this pair.

What I Didn't Love: The big bad of the story is identified pretty early on in the story. Based off of the strong chess game of intrigue played by the main players I expected an epic conclusion. Though the conclusion is ultimately satisfying the big bad's one on one final interactions with the heroine and hero felt a little condensed or rushed.

Favorite Quotes:

"Never let a sheep guard the chicken coop. The wolves will always find a way in."

"I'm not weird. I'm limited edition."

"I love all her contradictions. I love that she wears sexy, revealing outfits, has tattoos and piercings, swears like a sailor and knows Krav Maga, but a single kiss can undo her."

"You're pretty territorial for a woman who only wants to be a team of one, sweetheart."

Wicked Sexy has cemented my appreciation for J.T Geissinger and I can't wait for her next book in this series.

Happy reading.

This review is for The Reading Room Blog.

“You belong to me. You belong with me. You’re mine, and I”m never letting you go.”

Wicked Sexy is the second book in The Wicked Series and can totally be read as a stand-alone. I have to tell you, I could not have been more excited to get my hands on this book. Wicked Sexy is Tabby and Connor’s book. Now, if you’ve read the first book, then you know we got a little taste of these two characters and their story more than delivered.

Tabby is not your typical woman. She’s incredibly smart and all business when she has to be, but underneath it all, she is so different. She’s wild. She’s sexy. She’s got piercings and tattoos. She’s good at her work and prefers to work alone. However, all of her plans get shot to hell, when Connor enters the picture. You see Connor is the guy you love to hate. He’s ex-military. He’s lethal. He’s knows how to effectively get the job done and is used to getting what he wants. What he didn’t plan on was the effect that Tabby would have on him. When he needs her help for a job, he’ll pull out all the stops to get what he wants. His self-control will be tested in more ways than he ever thought possible….

Wicked Sexy was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the writing and found the story-line to be very entertaining. I loved the enemies to lovers story-line. Connor and Tabby were a lot of fun to watch. The push and pull these two had was great. Their chemistry was scorching. There was never a dull moment between these two and they had my eyes glued to the pages to see what would happen next.

Wicked Sexy is sexy and entertaining. I loved the characters and their story. And I enjoyed watching everything unfold. There’s a lot of good action, twists and of course you can’t forget about the romance.

Wow!

This book was awesome! From the first page to the last, the story grabbed me and held me for one wild ride. Full of mystery, suspense, and scandal, Wicked Sexy ticked off most of my favorite story elements. We met Tabby/Tabitha in JT Geissinger's Wicked Beautiful. She was the computer genius behind the re-invention of Victoria. In that book, we learned that Tabby is crazy, super smart; has good head on her shoulders; and carries an awful lot of baggage from her past. In Wicked Sexy, we learn just what all of that baggage is.

There are so many sides to Connor and Tabby's story. One side is how they have to work together to catch a dangerous psychopath hiding on the Internet. There is another side that has them both facing their pasts and how that affects their presents. Then, we see the side of the story where they find themselves attracted to one another. Within those layers, we see just how attracted they are to each other. It isn't just physical. They are both crazy smart (in different ways), and very passionate. Those characteristics are completely different in Connor and Tabby, and yet, those differences are exactly what elevates the attraction.

I want to say that this book is a great love story, but I can't. What I should say is that this book HAS a great love story in it. Yes, I got caught up in watching Connor and Tabby fight their attraction and ultimately give in to it. More than that, I was riveted by the entire story. Everytime I thought I knew where the story would go, it would take a turn that I never saw coming. Start to finish, I read this book in 24 hours. The story pulls you in and you can't stop until you get to the end!!

**I received an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review**

If I had to use one word to describe this book, it would definitely be scorching. Everything about this book was hot, hot, hot!

I was first introduced to Tabby and Connor in Wicked Beautiful. Getting to see their story unfold in Wicked Sexy was so amazing, and the way that Geissinger brought them together left my heart pounding and my head pretty much spinning.

I loved this story. Geissinger writes in a way that hooks readers in from the very get go, and her characters are well-developed, flawed just enough, and the kind of people I would want to incorporate in my own social circle if I had the chance.

Tabby is an amazing character. I loved her in Wicked Beautiful, and I love her even more after Wicked Sexy, because we get to see so much more of the sassy and snarky girl since the book focuses on her and Connor’s story. Connor is incredible to. He’s loyal to a fault, a bit of an alpha male type, and so. very. hot.

Geissinger is so, so good at writing suspenseful, action-packed stories. The plot for this was unique and everything was fast-paced and exciting to read. I found myself literally not wanting to put the book down because I couldn’t wait to see what happened, between Tabby and Connor, and with the story in general.

I look forward to seeing what Geissinger has in store for us next. Her characters are among some of my favorites, and I can’t wait to see what new tales and people she whips up for all of us to enjoy.

5 stars to this book!

Tabby….Tabby is my hero! She is wicked smart, fabulously sassy and can kick some serious butt!
“I don’t know what it is about this woman—bad-tempered, foul-mouthed Hello Kitty fiend with a constellation of tattoos on her body and a mind like a maze—but she really does it for me.”
Everything about this book was amazing! Conner is built, strong, HAWT, smart and seriously smushy! Yep, I said smushy because under all that hard muscle is a heart of gold.
“You’re in deep, Tabby. Denial will only take you so far. You might as well just fracking admit you have serious feelings for this irritating, overbearing, completely incompatible sexalicious stud of a man, and get on with your life.”

Tabby will face her past and her hardest challenge. Battling a computer mastermind set on destruction.

“The obstacle is the way. The thing that ails you is also the cure. There’s no running away, or going around, or over. There’s no avoidance. Avoidance is just a guarantee you’ll never prevail. You have to push through, to the other side of your fear. The obstacle itself is the way through.”

This is full of action, suspense and heat. It was just like watching an action movie playing in my head. Twist and turns, hot lovin’, and some serious computer skills. I loved every single piece of this book! Maybe it’s just the techie in me but there was not one second of this book that I did not enjoy!

This was the second in the Wicked Games Series, and in Wicked Sexy we get Tabby’s story and I loved her story even more seeing it progress forward, and now knowing more about her. This was my second book by J.T. Geissinger and I am hooked on this series! I can’t wait for more.

In Wicked Sexy we follow Tabby a few years after helping her best friend Victoria in Wicked Beautiful. Tabby is approached by the ever so confident and gorgeous former Marine, Connor Hughes, to help him with a job that he knows she is the best person for the job. She is an expert hacker and she is just the person to help him with a cyber criminal that needs to be brought to justice. Tabby tries to avoid his pursuits both in the bedroom and in the workplace, but she soon comes to realize she wants to help Connor, but not for the reasons he thinks. She is hired to go after a former friend and classmate, and she will stop at nothing to bring him down for all the hurt he has put her through. He is a big part of her past but as the two grow closer, Connor just wants to be part of her future. Even if she wants nothing to do with those thoughts, despite what her heart and body tell her.

This is a fun read filled with emotions, twists, drama, revenge, action and so many things I can’t even list them all. This was a great follow up book 2 in this series and I can’t wait to see what is next for the Wicked Games Series.

"Wicked Sexy" by JT Geissinger. Wow! Ms. Geissinger had me hooked from the first page. I adored Tabby - she's tough and sassy and really smart. Yet she's really sweet, too, once you get to know her. Obviously, Connor is smoking hot - a true hero. I adored his ability to laugh at her antics and know that, even if she was driving him nuts, he could see down to her true self. In addition to loving our couple, the story really packs a punch too - this is one story that I read from start to finish without putting it down once! I needed to know what would happen! It's an on the edge of your seat tale that keeps the reader biting their nails hoping for the HEA but not really sure if it's going to happen. The story is involved and in depth but Ms. Geissinger does a great job of keeping the reader right there in it, explaining situations but not going overboard where the reader loses interest. Having read and enjoyed "Wicked Beautiful" last week, I was really looking forward to Tabby's story and I am not disappointed. (it's not necessary to read Wicked Beautiful but I highly recommend that story too). I do hope this series will continue and Ms. Geissinger is able to bring more stories like this - a romance that is filled with humor, suspense and danger and characters that are believable with faults and quirks like the rest of us. Don't miss this series!

This is one of the most brilliantly written books I’ve ever read. The way the author weaves this story together is incredible and I couldn’t put it down – 5 well earned stars!

Tabby is computer genius and Connor is the CEO of his own security company. Connor wants Tabby, both to work with him and romantically. Tabby doesn’t get close to anyone and doesn’t want to work with the man who drives her bonkers every time they see one another but when Tabby’s past comes back to haunt her in a very interesting way Connor and Tabby are forced to work together and the sparks are off the charts between these two. Connor is all in from the get-go but Tabby isn’t willing to let her past harm anyone in her life so she can’t commit to him…

The author’s done a phenomenal job making this a great romance novel and keeping you thinking the entire time. It has an original plotline and the supporting characters are on point. The only thing I found a bit odd was that in book 1 Connor was really played up as a computer genius and you didn’t get much of that in this book, that was all left to Tabby. Besides that, I truly loved every page and I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series.

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

Wicked Sexy is wicked good! Author J. T. Geissinger knows how to write first-rate sex. Plus, she made high-tech erotic and spicy!
We have a hacker cyber-thriller mixed with a stimulating romance: A cyber terrorist named Maelstr0m and a computer hacker known as Polaroid. Instead of the shrewd and cunning tough guy hero, we have Hello Kitty sharp-witted bad ass Tabitha West to save the day.
We were first introduced to Tabitha from Wicked Beautiful by J. T. Geissinger. Connor West is a retired Marine who owns his own private security firm Metrix. I could not get enough of these two. Laugh-Out-Loud wise ass “one liners” with so much venom and suppressed sexual desire makes it the best part of the story.
The author keeps the thrills coming with edge of your seat excitement. The cat-and-mouse game in this thriller is not diminished. It comes complete with explosions, shootouts, fist fights and damn good dirty sex! Throw in the alphabet people (FBI, CIA and NSA) and you are in for a thrill ride. That’s the backdrop for Wicked Sexy.
Let’s talk chemistry between Tabby and Connor. It’s a love-hate relationship from the COM room to the bedroom. They make sex as hot as gun-fire shooting pass your ear.
It’s a perfect dark thriller and romantic comedy at the same time. You have the best dialogue mix with toe-curling hot sex.

Wow! This book grabs your attention and keeps it there start to finish! Sooooo very happy to have met these characters and learned their stories.

This is the second book in the series but can be read as a stand alone. Book Connor and Tabby were introduced in the first book, but the reader has no problem with not being able to follow this story line. I have enjoyed all of this author's other works, but JT, Romantic Suspense may be your thing!

I won't share much of the story because there are facts that come to light as the book progresses. What I will say is that both Tabby and Connor are characters that you can't help but smile along with. They have a love/hate, flirty, smartmouth type of relationship BEFORE they finally get together. What happens between the two of them will get your steam flowing for sure! The tease up just to get Tabitha interested in the idea of one night together was HOT! Tabitha has a ton of baggage she brings to the mix, but Connor figures out real quick what Tabby's hang ups are and uses his finesse to work around those.

So if you are looking for action, intrigue, scorching hot s3x, geek nirvana, and ultimately- melty romance----GRAB THIS BOOK! The good guy saves the day but the Queen still has all the power. Loved this one!

5++++ stars
Read on behalf of A Book Lovers Emporium. My head is spinning, this book was phenomenal. The twists and turns are mind boggling. The writing is superb even though the characters talk some kind of foreign language (computer speak) at times but it's easy to follow. I simply couldn't stop thinking about this book, even when I had to be an adult, I was looking for a quiet reading place all day long.
I love the sass that the main female characters have in this series. It was nail biting and emotional too.... Phew.
Ex Military and computer hacking genius = double crossing and plot twists that you just can't predict. I, for one, will be reading more of J T Geissinger's books.
The story is of Tabby and Connor. Connor owns a security company and when he is hired by a client who is being cyber blackmailed he calls in Tabby. They met in the previous book in the series, Wicked Beautiful. Tabby is attracted to Connor but tries to hate him. Connor is attracted to Tabby. He knows she is a spectacular hacker and, if anyone can help in this case it's her. The plot thickens and twists and turns and twists again.
A definite MUST read, I can not WAIT to read what's next from this author.

If you've read Wicked Beautiful, then you became acquainted with Tabby, the genius computer hacker who was then Victoria's assistant. I love Tabby's character and was thrilled that she got her own book!

In Wicked Sexy, another familiar character, Connor, approaches Tabby with a job offer. She initially refuses and most of her hesitation lies in the fact that she and Connor drive each other crazy. They constantly go at each other (verbally), even though there is grudging admiration underneath. There is also a lot of sexual tension, which both try to ignore. However, she changes her mind when she learns that an old nemesis is the target. As a result, this job dredges up a lot of painful memories that Tabby finally has to come to terms with. Not only is Tabby incredibly smart, but we learn exactly how strong and resilient she is.

I enjoyed this book even more than the first one. Tabby is a perfect heroine. She's independent, self-confident and can do the job assigned to her better than any man. I also enjoyed Connor's character. Even though he's a typical alpha male, he's okay with taking a back seat to Tabby and isn't threatened by her skills or intelligence. There is plenty of humor, suspense and steaminess and I found this book impossible to put down. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Wicked Sexy is everything I could have wanted in a follow up to Wicked Beautiful. Tabby and Connor were everything I wanted and more. He's sexy and possessive, she's a kick ass heroine together they are hot and sexy.

Tabby is smart with a sassy attitude to match. She is a genius hacker with a gigantic personality. Tabby is all about her independence and taking care of herself. She has a broken heart and refuses to let it happen again by not getting close to anyone. When a hacker from her past shows up she finds out she may need Connor more than she thought.

Connor has a hacker blackmailing him. He needs Tabby to use her amazing skills to stop the hacker, but Connor gets more than he bargained for with Tabby. The hacker has Connor and Tabby in a game of cat and mouse. Is it a game they can win?

The emotional push and pull with Connor and Tabby is just what I needed. I loved the suspense, the steamy scenes and the fun within this story line. It was a definite page turner.

It was a great follow up to Wicked Beautiful. I can't wait for Wicked Rush!

*Wicked Reads Review Team*

This is the second book in the Wicked Beautiful Series by J.T. Geissinger ,and I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this great story. J.T.Geissinger has given us a story that will draw you in and keep you there from start to finish ,and then will leave you wanting more from this author .The characters are amazing and the storyline is well written ,and will leave you guessing what will happen next. Connor is ex-military turned owner of a security company . And then there's the beautiful Tabby who is amazing at everything from martial arts, computer expert/hacker and is as smart as heck. The attraction is hot in very way. But Connor really needs Tabby's help to stop a mysterious computer hacker that intents to destroy peoples lives. So Tabby agrees to help him for personal reasons of her own and she won't share why? But the beautiful Tabby stands up to Government Specialists and some other organizations. But when her secrets gets out ,Connor takes a stand for her ,against the enemy along side her. This story has twists and turns and the sex scenes are steamy hot ,but be prepared there's a lot of sex. I could tell you more about this story ,but that would spoil it for you. I highly recommend that you read this story ,you won't be disappointed.

This book was so refreshingly different, I loved every minute of it! I have been searching for a good romance lately with a different story, not the same cookie cutter one they all seem to be, just changing the characters and places. This book was totally different and kept me hooked from start to finish. About 75% in I thought to myself, "well this is gonna end just like I thought" and I was disappointed. But oh no, instead of being the ending, there was a twist and it breathed more life into the book and therefore made this book go from the 3 stars I would have given it, to a 5. The writing was great, just enough description vs. dialogue, characters were interesting, it was laugh out loud funny in some parts, emotionally investing, and different. Parker is a very loyal, gorgeous, worthy book hero that will have all of you romance junkys out there swooning. Don't miss out on this book!

I prefer my dual POV books to be narrated by both a male and a female narrator. However, Melissa Moran did a great job at narrating both POV's. It didn't detract too much from my enjoyment of the story or narration.

Wicked Sexy was SO good I was hooked from start to finish. It was wildly entertaining with sarcastic, witty banter between Connor and Tabitha, and their chemistry was off the charts kind of HOT! Somehow JT Geissinger has fused the humor and chemistry with a dark and forbidden undercurrent in the story and blends it all together in a way that is natural, yet completely engaging and so intense. Throw in a couple twists I never saw coming, and I was completely blown away.

LOVED the dynamic characters. Especially Tabitha. Her take no crap attitude, her off the charts intelligence and her scathing retorts were epic. And when you pair her up against Connor, the edgy and commanding ex-military hero, well you are going to get exactly what you expect. They clash in all the best kind of ways. The characters and story were so smart I was in awe!

I was thrilled to see Wicked Sexy was with Tabby and Connor. We could see the sexual tension building up in Wicked Beautiful. With Ex-Special Ops and a Hacker, we see them pushing the envelope. Tabby is so wicked smart. She's beautiful and eccentric and has a lot of love for Hello Kitty.

Connor was hired on retainer for security work and they couldn't figure it out who was the cyber criminal breaching the system. He was told to hire Tabby for her "hacker" skills to locate this criminal. Through a lot of code, they are able to infiltrate the breach but at a huge cost. This criminal is brought back a monster in Tabby's life.

Connor knows that Tabby is holding something back. He tells her a story of the princess and the hero. 'A real hero would teach the princess how to save herself' and ultimately Connor wanted to be her hero. He wanted to help save herself. To her, he was her jarhead and to his, princess.

I loved Tabby and Connors personality. The way they volley back and forth. And she knows that he will never let her down and be with her as a team.

Was given an arc for an honest review
4.5 stars

Well, that was totally unexpected. I kept seeing this book in my feed and after reading several glowing reviews, I downloaded it on a whim.

Holy guacamole, this book is hot. Not only that, it is so well researched and written, I am wondering if the author may have a secret, double life as a computer hacker. The characters are totally fantastic, the details and plot are finely layered, and the heat factor is cranked all the way up to 'smoking'.

I adore geeky heroines, but Tabitha is on another level. She is so strong, intelligent, and calculating, I have a wee lady boner for her. Connor is a tough ex-military-turned-security-type who is the epitome of macho but turns to mush anytime he is within 10 feet of Tabby. Their chemistry is so believable and off-the-charts hot. The sex scenes in this story are so scorching, I'm surprised my Kindle didn't burst into flames.

The suspense in this book will keep you on the edge of your seat, while the interaction between Tabby and Conner will have you melting. The combination definitely worked for me and has me thirsty for more.

Wicked Sexy picks up 3 years after Wicked Beautiful. This book is about Connor and Tabby and these 2 characters stole my heart in Wicked Beautiful.

Connor is in need of help. He has been tasked with finding out who is hacking his celebrity client's computer system and there is only one person he knows who can help catch this person. Tabitha "Tabby" West. There is one little problem with this. Tabby can't stand Connor.

Once Connor convinces Tabby to help him they both realize that there is more than just hate between each other, there is intense attraction. Little does either know that this hacker is going to bring Tabby's past back up to hunt her and the fierce protection side out in Connor.

"I want you. Bad. Don't know exactly why, you're a complete pain in the my a$$ and pretty much the most contrary, foul-tempered woman I've ever met..

This was one heck of a hot suspenseful read with LOTS of twist and thrills. Oh and yes snarky Tabby does have more amazingly funny one liners.

"I'm not weird. I'm limited edition."

This book has it all. It has intrigue, suspense, comedy, love and it is incredibly sexy. The story revolves around Tabby and Connor. These characters were introduced in the first book of The Wicked Games Series, Wicked Beautiful. You need not read the first book to read Wicked Sexy for it is a standalone.
Tabby is a computer genius who is hard as nails at first glance. Most people aren't allowed to get close. She won't let them. This is especially true for Connor, the incredibly sexy ex-military man who also is charming and intelligent. He sees through Tabby almost right from the start.
He wants her, she is a hot fiery woman that he cannot seem to resist. But first he needs her help. He is working on a job that her special skills are perfect for..... Tabby has no desire to accept his offer. How can he convince this woman who doesn't need anything from anyone? Well, that's what she wants people to think anyway. The problem is, deep down she does want more. She just can't admit it!
I received an arc for an honest review

I absolutely loved this book! We got to meet Tabby and Connor in Wicked Beautiful, and while they're featured a bit in that book, we really get to see them in all their glory in their story, and this book definitely delivers.

There is some serious chemistry between Connor and Tabby, and while there are plenty of smexy times, that's just an added bonus to the story, and believe me, even if there wasn't the romance bonus, the plot is still strong enough to keep you engaged. I love that we get to see a female hacker, I myself haven't read a lot of books that feature the woman as an expert hacker. Actually, Tabby is just an all around kick@zz woman. Without giving away spoilers, Connor needs Tabby's help to fight another hacker, and somewhere along the way Tabby takes a stand against the government and other entities, and it isn't long before Connor is fighting the good fight right beside her.

This is a good blend of smexiness, drama, intrigue and action, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next book in the series.

I read the first book in this series and it left me feeling meh, but this one holy cow was it good. I was drawn in right from the beginning. There were so many things about this one I loved. The passion and chemistry between Connor and Tabby. They're come off disliking one another in the beginning, but the chemistry between them is explosive. The way Connor delves deep to understand and appreciate Tabby won me over the most by far. Tabby is super smart and to the world a little odd. I just loved her character she comes off strong, but she has a vulnerable side that she doesn't let out for a good reason. The suspense and storyline in this one just sucked me and kept me on the edge of my seat. There were twists I didn't see coming that had me gasp. The characters in this one were fantastic and I was just cheering them on as I devoured the pages as the action unfolded. I was a huge fan on the epilogue after reading the journey Connor and Tabby went through to see them in that moment was truly beautiful. I highly recommend this one.

3.5 Stars

Although I had not read anything by J.T. Geissinger before Wicked Sexy, I have to say that I really enjoyed the pace of the story and the tone of the characters. Being my first book by this author, I didn’t know what I was getting into, but the blurb had me hooked so I had to pick it up.

A little slow at the beginning, but the action picked up fairly quickly and there were some seriously steamy scenes woven throughout. Hot, sexy Conner along with smart and sexy Tabitha deal with a common enemy while struggling to define their chemistry. It has all the makings of the perfect Summer read. Feisty heroine with a stubborn alpha-male give us a fun, not-too-suspenseful, romance.

I think I’ll be picking up other books by J.T. Geissinger because I think this author has talent and creates interesting characters. Humor, sarcasm, twists, and steaminess all wrapped up in a nice little package.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ecopy for review. All opinions are completely my own.

Connor Hughes, CEO Of Metrix Security, needs help in the form of spitfire Tabitha West. Tabby wants nothing to do with Connor, when they met it was instant hate and a little bit of lust. Tabby is a MIT dropout who is a genius and can hack into anything. Connor needs Tabby though to help save a studio from being blackmailed by a hacker that Tabby knows better than anyone.

Tabby keeps everything close to her chest, but Connor is finding a way to get her to trust him. A few rocky patches, a lot of heat, and an undeniable ability to piss people off, Tabby is n a game of chess with a person she hoped never to see again. Will she be able to uncover his whereabouts before it is too late?

Page turning intense roller coaster ride from page one. I loved this couple, talk about a book title that perfectly says it all about the book. It was Wicked and Sexy all rolled into one. Connor oozes alpha male and even when Tabby tries to push him away, he keeps coming for her. Excellent.

I admit it. I am a book-a-holic. :) I just can't seem to read enough. I leaned to read at a very young age thanks to my mom's favorite line, "shut up and get a book." So at the age of almost 48 it goes without saying that I have read more than my fair share of books. As you grow up you read for many reasons, your education, your job or just plain enjoyment. But when you are lucky enough to find an author that with every word they write on the page a part of you is touched you are blessed. You laugh out loud and get all clenchy chested (not words I know) and hurt and cry with the characters. You become a part of the book. Well, I just finished Wicked Sexy and I am so sad it's over. This book was amazeballs!
Enter Tabby stage left. Yes you heard me right, Tabby that we met in the first book in this series, Wicked Beautiful. She is no nonsense tough and downright sassy. She knows what she wants and what she thinks she can't have. She is smart as heck, graduated from MIT as a youngster and loves Hello Kitty. Her sexy nemesis (cause of her fall) Connor is one hard-core ex-military man. He can be considered a panty-dropping hunk of man, who also has an incredible soft spot for Tabby. He respects her smarts and her need for space. If you are looking for crime, passion, sex, sassiness and a great love story, jump up and give this book a read!

So after I read Wicked Beautiful, I immediately had to read Wicked Sexy by J.T. Geissinger. Umm, Ms. Geissinger you have my complete undivided attention now.

Wicked Sexy is smart romance that had it all from witty dialogue, humor, steam, and of course passion with a sprinkle of suspense. Gessinger does not hold back as she hacks her way into readers hearts with a romance that was sassy, feisty, and highly addictive. So what happens when ex-military alpha hero and a feisty hacker genius gets together? Well...duh, an explosive relationship!! Seriously, this second installment to the Wicked Games Series was an unforgettable romance that was fun, sexy, and widely entertaining.

So if you are looking for a story that was wickedly sexy, beautiful, sassy, smart and cheeky then this book is definitely for you. Geissinger not only wrote a fun story with lovable characters but she gets you craving for more.

5 Computer Hacking has Never Been This Sexy Stars!!!

Wow!!! How much did I love this book?? A lot I tell you!! Talk about keeping me on the edge of my seat both with the storyline and the chemistry between Tabby and Connor. Talk about opposites attracting. These two are not two people that you would think that would work. But in their own quirky ways it's a romance that's meant to be!!

Connor is all alpha male that just doesn't understand Tabby and her superior intelligence. But in order to solve his current case, he needs her and her stellar hacking capabilities. What they don't know is that there is danger for Tabby. It was clear to me, that no matter what, once they figured out what was going on, Connor would protect Tabby no questions asked.

The pace of this book was phenomenal. The characters were well developed and I loved every page of this book.

This book was amazing! I couldn’t put it down! When I read Wicked Beautiful, I said Tabby needed her own book. Well this is it! Extremely excited! The wacky, Hello Kitty-loving former assistant to the “queen bitch” didn’t need or want a man in her life. She had met Connor when her former boss disappeared and hated him instantly and told him so on several occasions. So imagine her surprise when he shows up asking her to help him with a job. Of course she refuses but finally agrees when she finds out the job is to hunt down a “ghost” from her past. The sexual tension between Tabby and Connor fantastic. Can Connor teach her to trust again? Can he keep her safe from the “ghost” and the FBI, NSA and all the other 3 letter government agencies? Read this book and find out! You will not be disappointed!!! Fun, thrilling, and exciting to read! Loved it! -read by Mrs Undercover with Pop Fizz Clink Read

I love the Wicked Game series and book #2 is off the charts amazing! It's hot and filled with suspense. Tabitha attended MIT was she was a teenager where she met up with another genius who ended up being a psycho. Tabitha is one of the best computer gurus and has been called in by a "co-worker", Connor, to help on a job that requires her computer skills. The sexual tension between these two is off the charts but Tabitha is always holding back, not trusting. As we learn more about Tabitha and her past, losing her family and ending up in a terrible foster home, we understand why. Now the psycho from MIT is back and wants her to be by his side forever. Connor isn't cool with that but he has no control over the situation. This was a great read and I can't wait for more!

*I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Tabby, what a brilliant Rock Star. I had no idea what her story would be, I throughly enjoyed it! JT Geissinger writes stories that have a deepness to them, however you don't drown in them. The characters are written with such strong back bones, they're bent, not broken. The steam and angst between Tabby and Connor, holy moly! They were a perfect match right from the start. I loved watching Tabby attack her past while Connor kept her steady, it was sweet and sexy as hell. Their connection was full of fire and passion, I loved reading about these two whether twisted in the sheets or trying to catch bad guys. Like in Wicked Beautiful the descriptions of the women's fashion identity brought another layer to their personalities and gave you some serious fashion porn to read! I was glued to the pages from beginning to end, great story.

Wow, just wow. First book by this author and absolutely loved it...so now I am "stalking" her on Twitter...lol. Loved this book, these two had combustible chemistry with their witty banter back and forth. Conner aka Jarhead ex-military turned security guy and Tabby aka Princess and genius Hello Kitty lover. This story had me on the end of my seat from the very beginning, just unfolding slowly. It took a few turns that I did not see coming and I love when an author can "shock" me. Between their witty banter and the suspense to figure out the bad guy's "intentions"...for me it was on the edge of your seat good. Loved the writing style, well written and perfectly executed. This is a must read....can't say enough about it really....well, except for I am a big fan now and this will not be the last for this author.

I want to make friends with Tabitha. Not only can she hack into any computer program on the planet but she is an amusing and quirky woman. This does not go unnoticed by Connor. He is a strict by the book needing control in all things alpha and I think I love him too. These two fight their attraction every step of the way until even they cannot deny it any longer. I first took notice of Tabitha and Connor in book one of the series but I never imagined their story could be this explosive. The pull between these two was flaming hot but there was more to the story than that. There were twists that I did not anticipate as they worked to solve the mystery of the cyber criminal. This mystery was well written and flowed so easily that I could not stop reading. I loved this couple and this story and recommend it to everyone.

The return of characters we loved from WICKED BEAUTIFUL, Tabby and Connor get their story told in WICKED SEXY. The genius hello kitty loving computer hacker and an ex jarhead security expert wouldn’t be the normal pairing that you think would work but JT Geissinger does it in an extraordinary way that gets readers invested until they get to the last page.

It’s so nice to have stories where the heroine of the story is a smart, sassy, successful woman whose personality defies most stereotypes but at the same time is still fun to read. I particularly enjoyed the banter that Tabby and Connor had throughout the book. Their dialogue was something I could hear real couples using. It was sweet but not in an overly sappy way and it had snark but wasn’t insulting or demeaning. I also loved their use of code phrases. “I loathe you” rocks! The plot kept things interesting and I loved the spins and twists that unraveled throughout the book. It also drove the point of the reality of what we live in now where technology has brought us so much progress but at the same time also brought out a rise in a different kind of threat that we face every day yet most of still insulate ours consciousness from.

Overall a very solid story that I would recommend to those who like romantic suspense with substance.

An ARC was provided for an honest review.

This was an addictive and utterly entertaining story. I listened to the audiobook version of Wicked Beautiful, and having absolutely loved it, I jumped right into this one. While this story had a different feel to it, it didn't lessen my enjoyment of it at all. I was already intrigued when we first met the main characters in the previous book, and their romance didn't disappoint. It was told in dual point of views, and while there was only one narrator, she did a great job with this audiobook so it didn't bother be. Overall, it was an awesome story, and I'm quite looking forward to more from this author.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I absolutely loved it.

Wicked Sexy had everything I want in a book... adventure, romance, suspense, laughter and some really hot scenes.

I really liked both Conner and Tabby... Conner had that whole alpha male thing going on and Tabby was really quirky and together they were a really great couple. The plot was really good and kept me turning the pages well after it was time to go to bed.

Overall a really enjoyable and highly addictive book that that will keep you reading well into the night.

I highly recommend this book!

This book is so good!! The story is filled with suspense and twists and still the author found time to add the sexy scenes too!! I love Tabitha! She is strong and super intelligent. She is AMAZING! Connor tries to save the day but Tabby steals the show. What a great book! I couldn't put it down all day. I highly recommend this book!

Tabitha West is computer hacker with a love for all things Hello Kitty, but don't let that fool you, she has a kickass attitude, and a filthy month she's not afraid to use, bring Conner, a sexy as hell, take no prisoners alpha male into the mix, and watch the sparks fly. I loved this book , having met both characters in book 1, Wicked Beautiful, I couldn't wait to see where this book would take us, and what I got was a rollercoaster of a ride, this book had everything...action, humour, and off the charts sexual chemistry, what more could a girl ask for...a well deserved five stars

I received this ARC in return for an honest review.

Special Ops hunk meets Tech Savvy Fem and it's explosive.

Connor is Special Ops now private security and owns his own business. Tabby is a hacker/computer genius that loves Hello-Kitty.

These two on there own would be dynamite, but together they truly bring the house down. I have read many a romance where it is clear that the two will get together and the sex will be every other chapter as filler. Not this book. The main characters come together but Tabby keeps pushing Connor away. When push comes to shove though...the magic happens.

The sex is steamy and never over the top bordering on porn boring. J.T. Geissinger has hit another home run with Wicked Sexy. I've read many of her works and she really makes you feel like you know the characters when you are done reading to the point where you wish there were 1000 pages more.

I really loved how Connor had to work to get Tabby and how he seemed to know what she needed to truly let loose and enjoy being with him. If you like a romance, with a little suspense and a lot of heat, this is the book for you.

I loved this story. We first met these great characters, Tabby and Connor in Wicked Beautiful, but this book is a stand alone story. Wicked Sexy had some great twist and turns in the plot as Tabby and Connor collaborate on a mission together and their bantering was hilarious. Will they ever get along long enough to see their quest finished? Is there more between them than they like to admit?
This was a book that had me hooked from beginning to end, and it's very sexy, a real page turner. 5/5.

Wicked Sexy was an absolutely fun, engaging read. Once I started Tabby and Connor's story, I couldn't put it down without knowing how everything was going to unfold.

I love the match up we get with the Hello Kitty loving hacker and the tough ex-military security specialist. The chemistry is hot and the dialogue will have you laughing out loud.

Geissinger weaves suspense and romance with a couple of surprises in this sexy, page turner of a thriller.

Wicked Sexy was a wild ride from start to finish! I loved how awesome and super sassy Tabby was. Her sense of style and personality was loud and all her. Connor was her opposite in every way. You see sparks whenever their together. Great storyline, engaging secondary characters! definitely recommends to everyone who loves their romance sexy, sassy and scorching!

This was such an awesome book. Book 1 was good but this book was even better. I loved that Tabitha's character was strong and sassy. Melissa Moran brought life to the characters.

Loved this book! Connor and Tabby will scorch the pages right off your kindle! Lots of plot twists and suspense! Tabby is the ultimate computer geek! Connor is the Special Ops trying to stop the super evil Soren Killgaard! Your heart will race until the end, and who knew Hello Kitty could be so helpful!?!? I can't wait for Ryan's story! 5 stars

Oh how I loved this book! Best characters I've read in a long time, wonderful dialogue, and the hottest sex scenes ever! I definitely think it's better if you read Wicked Beautiful first because you get to know Tabby and Connor there and it helps you dive right in with this book. Not to be missed!

Loved this book, I just adored Tabby and Connor! Their banter was hilarious and they were a great couple! The story had some really good twists as well, it was fast paced and kept me hooked from start to finish! I highly recommend this book!

What a rollercoaster of surprises! This book had everything I love in a great story: suspense, angst, love, humor, and a kickass heroine! Tabby is badass and her quick banter with the delicious Connor had me nearly pissing myself laughing. I don't do spoilers, all I can say is read this book! You won't regret it, I promise!
Great work J.T.!

I was totally lost in Tabby and Connor's world. There were several things happening in this book and I loved the mystery/game factor. There is depth to her characters and even though it's a romance novel, it's so much more. And the chemistry between them is HOT!!

Action packed hotness all rolled up in one adventure of a lifetime! My heart was racing as I eagerly flipped the pages to see what what happen next. It was just that good! I can't wait to see what comes next!

I absolutely love this book!!! Cocky, sexy Connor and smart and sassy Tabby! And loved the side characters...Juanita, Ryan (can't wait for his story) and of course Zeus!! This book made me laugh out loud over and over! Five stars all the way!!!
